Warner Bros. Pictures is giving moviegoers what they want: More of that high-wattage chemistry between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. The Oscar-nominated drama “A Star Is Born” is returning to theaters Friday for a one-week engagement on 1,150 screens in North America.

The encore showing of the rising-star/fading-star tale includes 12 minutes of additional footage and extended musical performances of such songs as opener “Black Eyes”; “Alibi”; and Lady Gaga’s Ally in her impromptu a cappella performance of “Shallow,” which received the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 91st Annual Academy Awards, following Cooper and Gaga’s emotional performance during the ceremony.

The new, longer cut also contains footage of Ally singing to Jack “Is That Alright?” in the wedding sequence; Jack in his studio singing “Too Far Gone”; Jack and Ally writing a new song together, titled “Clover.”

The film also stars Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappelle and Sam Elliott, who received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his part.
